The WIN System is IRLP or at least a portion of it. All you need is a radio with a DTMF keypad.

Repeaters on the system come in two types.

Some you need to enter a prefix code.. Then the node number

Let us assume the node is 2905 and the prefix is 47

Let the repeater go idle, then key up and give your call and the fact you wish to access irlp.. Let it drop.. Key up again and enter 472905 on your keypad.. Let it go and you should hear "Welcome to node 2905 and perhaps the location or repeater team name.

The other type has no prefix code..
Again you give your call and desire, let it drop
Key up and simply enter 2905

In both cases to disconnect,, Let it drop, then key up and send 73
